LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aiming to enhance the variety of its TV package with Spanish-speaking
content and new English-speaking channels, satellite TV provider Kiwisat
is delivering 60 new channels to Caribbean audiences, of which 50 are in
HD (High Definition), using SES’s satellite SES-10.

Under the long-term extension agreement announced by SES, Kiwisat is
leasing additional capacity to transmit the 60 additional channels via
SES-10, which is already delivering Kiwisat’s current TV package of
about 130 channels. This brings the new Kiwisat content line-up to about
190 channels, of which about 140 are in HD, with a mix of content in
three languages: English, French, and now Spanish.

Launched in April this year on SES-10, Kiwisat offers the largest HD
bouquet in the Caribbean region. By extending its channel line-up,
Kiwisat will be able to offer different targeted TV packages adapted to
the islands’ population and main language. With the support of resellers
across the Caribbean, this will allow the platform to cater to various
consumers’ needs in the region and reach a wider audience.

"With these new channels, we are not only bringing an even wider array
of choice than before to viewers, but we are also offering more high
picture quality content," said Andrew Wang, CEO of Kiwisat. ‘’With more
channels, more reception equipment, and more points of presence in the
Caribbean islands, we are on the path to exponential growth, and we are
very pleased that our partner SES is accompanying us on this journey."

"We could not be more excited about Kiwisat’s success!’’ said Jurandir
Pitsch, Vice President, Sales & Market Development for Latin America and
Caribbean of SES Video. "As the first DTH platform designed for the
Caribbean, Kiwisat has won viewers’ hearts with its accessible,
top-quality TV entertainment offer, and now it’s ready to expand. We are
very proud to contribute to our customer’s growth, and to help bring
more content in high resolution to audiences in the Caribbean."
